Who created the helicopter engine?
Actually, it would make more sense to ask who created the helicopter. As designs and ideas for helicopters have evolved throughout the years, one thing has remained the same-there is no one specific engine that has been created strictly for a helicopter. Helicopters use engines that can be used for other aircraft such as planes, jets and turboprops. They can be factory modified to fit a specific helicopter but the basic design remains used amongst many applications. Early helicopters used engines that were already being made for airplanes. Modern helicopters use two basic types of engines-piston and turbine. Piston engines are similar to ones used in automobiles. Turbine engines, also known as jet engines, make a loud shireking whirring noise when they are operating. Both types are also used in airplanes.
